Vaporizer
Disclosed is a vaporizer with a heating element located on a side opposite the mouthpiece. The heating element can heat an herbal product that is located away from the vaporizer and not within a canister that may require multiple heatings of the same product, producing a burnt flavor. The heating element can be in the shape of a coiled straw-like structure or otherwise incorporate a tubular passageway to provide better air flow during inhalation. The air flow tip and the tube can also be a single piece to allow for easier cleaning and replacement, or removal of the air flow tip if the tip includes resin of a controlled substance.
1. A vaporizer comprising:
a heating element located at a first extreme end of the vaporizer;
an air flow tip coupled to the heating element and providing structural support for the heating element;
a tube coupled to the air flow tip;
a mouthpiece located at a second extreme end opposite the first extreme end, wherein the mouthpiece includes a mouthpiece opening and wherein the tube at least partially provides an air passage between the air flow tip and the mouthpiece;
a button operatively coupled to the heating element such that operation of the button causes the heating element to increase in heat; and
a housing that houses at least the button and tube,
wherein the heating element is located external to the housing.
2. The vaporizer of claim 1 , wherein the heating element is a coil.
3. A vaporizer comprising:
a heating element located at a first extreme end of the vaporizer;
an air flow tip coupled to the heating element and providing structural support for the heating element;
a tube coupled to the air flow tip and extending from the air flow tip, and wherein the tube at least partially provides an air passage between the air flow tip and the mouthpiece;
a mouthpiece located at a second extreme end opposite the first extreme end, wherein the mouthpiece includes a mouthpiece opening; and
a button operatively coupled to the heating element such that operation of the button causes the heating element to increase in heat; and
a housing that houses at least the button and tube,
wherein the heating element is located external to the housing.
4. The vaporizer of claim 3 , further comprising a midsection connecting the mouthpiece to the heating element.
5. The vaporizer of claim 3 , wherein the button activates the vaporizer upon being pressed a predetermined number of times, and activates the heating element upon being held for a predetermined period of time.
6. The vaporizer of claim 1 , further comprising a midsection connecting the mouthpiece to the heating element.
7. The vaporizer of claim 1 , wherein the button activates the vaporizer upon being pressed a predetermined number of times, and activates the heating element upon being held for a predetermined period of time.
8. The vaporizer of claim 1 , further comprising a charging port for receiving power to recharge batteries inserted into the vaporizer.
9. The vaporizer of claim 1 , wherein the heating element is spiral-shaped and allows air to flow between a central portion of the spiral shape.
10. The vaporizer of claim 1 , wherein the heating element is a hollow coil.
11. A vaporizer comprising:
means for heating located at a first extreme end;
means for allowing air flow, wherein the means for allowing air flow is coupled to the means for heating and provides structural support for the heating element;
tubular means coupled to the means for allowing air flow and extending from the means for allowing air flow, the tubular means and means for allowing air flow being collectively removable from a remainder of the vaporizer;
means for receiving suction located at a second extreme end opposite the first extreme end, wherein the means for receiving suction includes a mouthpiece opening whereby a user can apply suction; and
means for selectively applying heat to the means for heating, wherein operation of the means for selectively applying heat causes the heating element to increase in heat; and
means for housing the means for selectively applying heat and the tubular means,
wherein the means for heating is located external to the means for housing.
12. The vaporizer of claim 3 , wherein the heating element is structured in a hollow, spiraled tubular shape.
13. The vaporizer of claim 3 , further comprising a charging port for receiving power to recharge batteries inserted into the vaporizer.
14. The vaporizer of claim 3 , wherein the heating element is a coil.
